Bug ID: 405179
Summary: KDE Settings in 5.13.5 do not seem to allow
customization of multiple distplays
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.13.5
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
KDE Settings refuses to allow me to configure 2 displays, heck, it won't let me
set up any displays.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. By default, on launch of new KDE session, 2 displays are working as
expected, though not lined up (positionally) the way I would prefer (i.e.
similar to physical set-up).
2. I go into Display settings, make a change, and the initial result is that
both screens are mirroring (not what i intended).
3. I then try to make ANY change (enable/disable either monitor, link or unlink
-i.e. mirror or not) and the result is now always the following error message:
"Sorry, your configuration could not be applied."
""
"Common reasons are that the overall screen size is too big, or you enabled
more displays than supported by your GPU"
4. I will comment that I started with the default driver and received this
message, then went to the NVidia website and retrieved 'official' drivers, but
that did not change the error. I will not also that I am setting up 2 displays
(4k and 2k/1080p), but the display adapter has 4 ports (so you would think it
supports it, display memory permitting). Also, please keep in mind that when i
initially logged into KDE Plasma for the first time on this account (and yes, I
realize an option may be to wipe out config and/or create a new account), there
were 2 functional separate displays, that just happened to be not tweaked the
way i like.
OBSERVED RESULT
Error message as described, inability to separate from screen mirroring,
distorted display on larger screen
EXPECTED RESULT
The ability to customize display options for multiple displays.
